(March 6, 2014) So, they checked your background, and you got that job at an intelligence agency. No doubt you are smart, and with that fancy compartmentalized clearance you have, you can truly claim to be the BIG SHOT. But perhaps there is something you failed to consider...

There is something that I am sure most people do not realize when they talk about the NSA, CIA, FBI, ect. And that is that these agencies have no people in them that are allowed to know what their work is really used for.

A tyrannical government will always seek out honest people and use them to do evil by restricting information from them. The use of honest people to do the works of evil is accomplished by only letting them see one small part of the total mission, and the reason given to them is so that one individual cannot see what is happening from start to finish and then sell out to the "enemy".

Their field of knowledge is restricted to one small piece of the job, or "compartment". This restriction of information is called compartmentalization.
